"Because he wasn't either." Kai replied, "I came from the Ice Capital, and that run down old shack used to be my parent's house. Akhor left the castle to find you, and brought me with him."

"Why was he looking for me?" Kratos had escaped centuries before, and this was the first time he had run into the dragon in three decades...

"He was... Getting bored." Kai replied, "And he always wanted to get you back... So..."

(I don't know about long posts being an infectious disease. I like long posts myself. :3)
Even now that he had time to actually lay down and do nothing, Sesshoumaru found he could not. He kept hearing Kratos and Kai talking, interrupting his efforts.
Giving up entirely, he tried to bring himself into a greater state of consciousness.
If he could just reverse this gods-forsaken transformation, he could try to heal himself with the Shikon no Tama. He very rarely did so, as the effects left him even weaker--if possible--than he had been when injured. But then again, he might just be able to walk a minute or so afterwards.
Maybe.
And even then, he could use his remaining strength to heal Ame if that is what it came to.
A smirk graced his features. Yes, he did like his species. Demons, specifically taiyoukai, were very hard-wearing. Besides, he'd had closer encounters with death. Much closer.

Ame gritted her teeth, trying to force herself back to her feet, but she couldn't. Gasping slightly, she sank back to the ground beside Sesshoumaru, growling softly. If she could just get to her feet and reach Akhor, she could actually damage the dragon's soul, with her naginata's Hell Slash...

Kratos snorted. "That figures..." His features darkened. "Curse that dragon...I had been so very close to killing him, once and for all...But he used you, and..." Kratos trailed off, not wanting to continue.

"I'm sorry... Kratos." Kai muttered quietly, "Akhor must have known this was going to happen... Probably planned it to." He slumped down against the alleyway wall, "I wouldn't be surprised."
Akhor raised an eyebrow, "Oh save your strength." He stated, rolling his red eyes, "You'll need it." He placed his hand on Aku's shoulder, and began to heal her.

Ame's growl grew louder. "No!" she yelled, forcing herself to sit upright. Wincing, she clutched her chest wound, which was still bleeding, rather heavily. "Kusou..." she muttered, coughing up more blood.
Aku twitched, ever so slightly.
Instantly, Hiei's katana was streaking for her neck, intending to decapitate her. Her powerful dragon tail swept up, the bone spikes at the end blocking Hiei's strike.
"I repeat, what the hell are you???" the fire demon demanded, his red eyes wide in shock. 'How is this thing still alive?'

"Half dragon, half inu." Akhor answered for her as he finished healing her.

Aku shuddered and rose. "What the hell happened?" she muttered, looking around. When her gaze fell on Akhor, she snarled. "You! Dragon... Akhor. You healed me? Why?" She then shrugged, her wings flexing. "Oh, well, no matter what your reason, don't think I'll spare you just for this!" She charged at him, her frustration at not having killed all the dragons overriding her hatred for her former little sister.

Akhor muttered something quietly and stood swiftly, "Figures." He muttered, watching her charge at him calmly. He lifted his hand, and a large thick wall of earth rose less then an inch in front of her.

Sesshoumaru felt anger well up within him and his youki swelled for a brief moment.
"Akhor...how dare you heal this...monstrosity?" he hissed. "That half-breed is not even worthy of living, look at how she mindlessly attacks you..."
Spitting a mouthful of blood on the ground, the ex-demon lord took a deep shuddering breath and evaluated.
He doubted that either Aku or Akhor would give him ample time to revert his transformation. That meant he would be fighting with his energy sapped.
Either way, he did not care. Ame was his to protect, and he would rise to the occasion. Wounds? They were nothing to him, they would heal in time.

(((Jeez...CAN demons die of blood loss??)))
"It's not your fault...Damn...I wonder what's taking him so long to claim his new prize." Kratos' tone was spiteful, and had a hard enough edge to cut steel. He was completely unaware of the horrendous scene that was playing out just outside the city. "I must find Sesshomaru before Akhor comes for us...I believe I own his quite a bit of money." He stood. "We will be spending quite a bit of time together from now on...Do you want to come with me?"

"Sure." Kai mumbled, pushing himself up into a standing position. ((Hey guys, ST found this pic, and she was looking at the URL and it said the guys name was Kai, and it looks just like him... Even has dark sun glass like things: ))

(((Ooo...that's a super-sweet pic, DR. I like it! *Saves it as own* I'm going to use that for a charrie of my own some day...a new made-up, other than Kitsune.)))
(((He looks oddly familiar...did ST say where he was from?)))
Kratos nodded, and picked up the purple tubes of his sleeves lying on the ground, sliding an arm into each to obscure as much of the marks as he could. The dragon head was still visible on his exposed shoulders, though.
"Let's go..." Kratos began to head out of the alleyway. He paused at the first turn, though. "Kai...do you have any idea how to get out of here?" Kratos knew these back alleys were like a maze...and the multitude of things that had been done to him here had completely erased his sense of direcion.
